There are these outdoor workout areas in #losangeles that have equipment similar to gym equipment built into the park that uses body weight for resistance.
I find them very useful SOME of the time but it gets ruined as something relaxing for three reasons-
1. Someone needs to turn the mid-day sun in LA down.
2. Shirtless middle aged dudes who grunt like they're climaxing.
3. Drug dealers who will pretend to workout and solicit you, or addicts asking if that's you.
Being #kind takes more strength than cruelty, or selfishness.
Nobody takes advantage of other people's cruelty. They avoid it if they can, then being selfish isolates you from others.
You have to take care with #kindness.
I was kind to someone I stay at an independent living place with, who saw me as someone to use for free stuff and hadn't outgrown the jail mentality of constantly using people, then tried to rope me in with his friends who were up to illegal things.
I AM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!
Kinda.
I have a bunch of free classes available to me, though I am not sure the entire extent of those classes.
I DO KNOW THEY EXIST THOUGH!
I do know that the program I get case management and pays my housing cost will pay for them too!
I have absolutely nothing better to do, so may as well make my brain bigger, or take some fitness classes, or something creative just for fun and to meet other creators.
They're my favorite people :D
Why on earth do publishers do this? It drives me nuts!
Why not just pick a book size and keep it consistent for the whole series?
*eye twitches*

I am no longer at my lowest weight.
I had appointment yesterday and checked it, and I now weigh 180lbs whereas I was 159lbs at my lowest when I had just gotten done being homeless, and had stopped eating as I was essentially dying, and so stressed I had entirely lost my appetite.
159 is a bit low for someone 6' 2".
Best part about it though - I didn't gain fat, I gained muscle, and I am much more #healthy now that I am not panicking 24/7.
Watching 'Quarterback' and there's a part that mentions Joe Burrow's house getting broken into.
DUDE HAD THE FBI INVESTIGATING HIS ROBBERY.
So we can't afford food, or helping homeless people, or aid for the poor... but we have money for the FBI to bust the people who robbed Joe Burrow.
#Lidl hat mal wieder den Vogel abgeschossen. TV-Werbung "Erhalte jetzt über die App passende Angebote für deine Kinder. Fülle einfach das Profil über dein Kind aus und los geht's!" (Wortlaut aus der Erinnerung wiedergegeben). Geht's noch?!?!
Sagt doch gleich: "Verkaufe die Daten deiner Kinder" oder noch besser: "Verkauf deine Kinder für einen Rabattcoupon".
Bin sauer 
Diese Richtung gefällt mir gar nicht! Tausende Eltern werden das Angebot dankend annehmen...
Was hat die Einwilligung zur Datenverarbeitung von Kindern unter 16 für einen Sinn, wenn die Erwachsenen gar nicht checken, was für einen Wert die Daten ihrer Kinder haben? Ich hab meine Freiberuflichkeit in letzter Zeit etwas zurück gedreht, aber ich glaub es wird wieder Zeit für mehr Elternabende zum Thema Datenschutz

Wieso lässt man in #Flensburg zu, dass religiöse Fanatiker bestimmen welche Behandlungen in einem Krankenhaus zulässig sind und welche nicht?
In Flensburg schließen sich das evangelische und das katholische Krankenhaus zu einem modernen Klinikum zusammen – das sichert die gesundheitliche Versorgung der Region. Nur ein Punkt sorgt seit Jahren für Streit: Im neuen Fördeklinikum soll es keine Schwangerschaftsabbrüche geben, darauf besteht der katholische Malteserorden.

Klinik verweigert Abtreibungen: Taxigeld statt Schwangerschaftsabbruch
When I first landed on twitter, I believe I had something starting with "passionate about technology" in my bio and it's so funny now, when I'm pretty sure I absolutely loathe most technology I encounter.
I hate that it's getting shoved down my throat when it's expensive and it doesn't even fucking work and if you want help with it or to avoid it, tough luck, that costs at least twice as much. If it's even an option.
Well I dunno what happened with LA Diner.
They said they hired me then I got an offer letter, responded, then never talked to again.
HOWEVER -
An adorable little Peruvian restaurant just hired me instead, and the owner was so nice and passionate about her new restaurant I couldn't help but say yes.
I always admire people who truly believe in what they're doing, and I knew I had the job when it stopped being an interview and became a conversation about #life.
I'm really, really starting to dislike YouTube. AI slop, idiot algorithm, adblock blocked, have to sign in.

Whenever you write something, you are (consciously or subconsciously) writing it for a target audience. The way you write to explain something to a pre-teen or to an adult is different, and both are different from how you would write if your target was a toddler etc etc
Scientific papers are no exception. There are of course well written and badly written scientific papers, but all of them have as their target audience other scientists, often only those in a specific subfield.
Expecting specialized scientific papers to be immediately understandable to everyone is completely missing the point of a scientific paper.

ps
There is a reason why some people specialize in writing popular science, which is a damn difficult job.
I'm thinking the #irondome in #israel isn't as effective as the #usa sold it as.
They probably made it knowing it wasn't that effective thinking Israel would never have to shoot down more than a few rockets or missiles from smaller factions/nations and sold it as stronger than it was banking on that.
Because I have been watching videos - Not only are their own anti-missiles failing, and hitting residential areas, dozens of #iranian missiles make it through each wave.
I'd really like to know how my neighbors all afford their fireworks. Some started shooting them off several days ago and will continue through the weekend into next week. I'm not opposed to shooting off fireworks but does it need to go on for a two week period? I don't think violence is the answer but every time my dogs and cats flinch scared I want to punch someone down there in the face.
They're lucky my wife keeps me from walking down.
Rant over. Have a good night!

When someone requests a follow and I’ve declined twice already, they really should take the not-subtle hint. They can read my posts as they are. I’ve looked at their timeline and I don’t find it interesting for whatever reason, so I don’t want them in my followers. I don’t care if they have a thousand followers or more. That person isn’t writing anything I’m interested in. Hopefully the block now in place does the job.
Dear people who make Microsoft Word: COMMENTS SHOULD NOT ADD TO THE DOCUMENT'S WORD COUNT. NOR ARE THEY "REVISIONS."
Do you people even understand how editing and revision works as a process?
a wee #rant.. sorry
I play music from you tube on occasions: and #accept the #criticism that it is not their kind of music..
I make political comments: and #accept the #criticism that it is not their kind of politics statements
I #usually always try to #respect other folks
Recently a lot of the #criticism is coming in the form of #Private #Mentions
I would rather any #criticism came through my main timeline as I generally only use #Private #Mentions with folks I know
